Day of the military financier
October 29, Wednesday
History of the holiday
The holiday was established in 1999 by order of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. The date was chosen to honor the creation in 1992 of the financial and economic service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine — a structure that became the foundation of the modern military financial system.
Significance of the holiday
Military Finance Officer Day recognizes the contribution of specialists who ensure the stable functioning of the financial system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their work includes:
* planning and allocation of financial resources;
* provision of troops with material and monetary means;
